Algae Globs in Kent Lake in Milford
When my Dad and I arrived at our last fishing outing at Kent Lake in Milford Michigan. We noticed that the one half of the lake was just covered in these algae globs or fungus. Not sure what you call it, but it looked rather harmful to the lake. If it is covering the one half, it surely can cover the other half eventually too. It was quite disturbing to my Dad, he did not like it all.
It’s funny because I was out there about 4 days ago and the algae wasn’t that bad, did the rain make it worse, or did it just grow over time. Really makes me wonder. My Dad thinks this new algae came over on freighters from the sea and eventually made it over to inland lakes such as Kent.
My Dad asked two old timers who have boats over near the wells, they stated “they have never seen this type of algae in the whole life.” Kind of scary!
I just hope it doesn’t hurt the fish spawning or the over all lake in the future. Stuff just doesn’t look healthy. I took some pictures for you fisherman to get a good look at it, they are down below.
